Product and Style Tips

The bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in your home, but you might not put it at the top of your list when you're redesigning your living spaces. If it's been quite some time since you've replaced the discount window treatments in the room and given it a new coat of paint, you may want to consider a bathroom makeover sooner rather than later.

Here are a few tips on how to transform your bathroom from drab to fab with a few small changes, even if you're not a professional interior designer.

1. Enhance the space with the proper window treatments.No one likes a dark, dreary bathroom, especially when the potential to allow sunlight into the space is there. If the window treatments in your bathroom are taking away from the area, consider an option such as wood blinds or pleated shades to allow more light into the room on a regular basis. The right window treatments can instantly brighten any area and make it feel more welcoming.

2. Install new fixtures.
As TLC.com states, fixtures can be the "jewelry" of the bathroom, and they're one of the first things people look at when they use the space. Because of this, it's in your best interest to choose fixtures that accentuate the existing decor and cater to the overall design you're trying to achieve. Whether you want your bathroom to have a vintage undertone or a modern edge, the right fixtures can help you reach your goal.

3. Find the right lighting fixtures.Having the right lighting in your bathroom can instantly transform the area from impractical to beneficial - think of how often you look in the mirror and find it difficult to see your face under poor light. Take the time to pick out new lighting fixtures as you remodel to make your bathroom a more practical area and complement your new decor.

4. Bring in matching linens.
It might not seem like a big deal, but mismatching towels can be an eyesore, especially in a bathroom that was recently redesigned. To truly pull your interior design together, you'll want to ensure that your linens are all part of a set - or at least coordinate in color. Doing so can be the difference between an average-looking bathroom and one that makes you say "Wow!" when you walk in.
